A: None but No Indian Brands at all.

A: 3G, WiFi
9. Q: What is your intended use for this phone(internet, camera, multimedia, mails, etc)?
A: Whatsapp, Basic Usage of Calls, Message, Mail Check, Occasional Videos but Audio Quality should be above average.
10. Q: Any other requirements?
A: Good Build Quality and Easy UI
11. Q: If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.
A: Well as of now following were considered:
1) Samsung Galaxy S Advance- At the Current Price, It was really good but My Friend's colleague has the same and suffers a lot of connectivity issues. Till now, whether this is resolved in JB Update or not is not at all confirmed so rejected.
2) Sony Xperia Series (U, Sola & Go)- Had a very bad experience with Sony Previously so no matter how good these may be, they are out on account of poor after sales experience under warranty.
3) Nokia Lumia 620- Fresh, New and the Simplest one which He liked very much. Suits him a lot but I am not sure about audio quality and neither I know what all Apps are currently now with Windows 8. My Friend's is not a App Junkie and never uses Phone for Gaming so only a few Apps like Office, PDF, Whatsapp, True Caller and Basic Suite like Calculator etc is all he wants.
4) LG Optimus L9- A worthy Option in Android with 4.1 promised, but too large and audio quality is the deal breaker. Rest All things are Ok but Nokia 620 has better Camera, Price and Looks. If someone can shed light on Audio Quality or We have to check in store via headphones to see if which one is good. FM is not required.
5) hTC One S- Design made him go for it but the Price was a bit too high and the options mentioned in subject were too good.
My friend's need as mentioned are very basic but I would still love opinion from TE to make a final recommendation. Please help and thanks in advance,
